The Awards Banquet (Jesus's appearance) is yet a moment away, and the race to gain the prize is going to depend on the zeal, motivation, determination, and faithfulness of the believers (runners) toward God to receive a crown. This book will share the path of righteousness to dwell in (Water Gate), the spiritual weaponry to war against the enemy of this world (Horse Gate), the boldness with humility to stand against a fallen culture (East Gate), and the excitement in preparation for Jesus's appearance for His bride (Inspection Gate).
The believer and the butterfly have come full circle, connecting the walls of the complete metamorphosis for future existence from the Sheep Gate to the Inspection Gate. Jesus is Alpha and the Omega. Each gate in this metamorphosis has challenged the believer to fight within themselves to become the repairer of the spiritual breach mankind experienced at physical birth.
This complete metamorphosis experience has brought the believer into an intimate relationship with God that cannot be considered a statement of bravado to impress, but to recognize this transformation as God's strategic plan for His people. This complete metamorphosis allows the believer to put on the garment of salvation provided by God with no image of the old man's deeds.
